Schlitz beer, a historic Wisconsin brand with a rich legacy, is set to be brewed for the final time. Under license from Pabst Brewing Company, the current owner of Schlitz, Wisconsin Brewing Company will produce a limited run of 80 barrels of the iconic beer. This final production marks the end of an era for Schlitz, a beer with deep roots in Milwaukee and Wisconsin's brewing heritage.

While Pabst has previously discontinued production, the partnership with Wisconsin Brewing Company allows for one last batch to be created, offering enthusiasts a chance to experience the beer one last time. Wisconsin Brewing Company, based in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, is known for its craft beers and commitment to local ingredients. Their collaboration with Pabst demonstrates an effort to preserve a piece of Wisconsin's brewing history. Details regarding the release date and distribution of the final 80 barrels have not yet been announced, but Wisconsin Brewing Company anticipates significant demand from Schlitz loyalists.

Schlitz beer has a long and storied history, dating back to 1849 when it was first brewed in Milwaukee by German immigrant August Schlitz. The brand rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, becoming one of the most popular beers in the United States. Over the years, the brand has changed ownership several times, eventually landing under the Pabst Brewing Company umbrella. This final production is a testament to the enduring legacy of Schlitz, a beer that has been a part of American culture for generations.
